RAM previews and improved performance.
• Crash on startup on computers with very old OpenGL drivers, or unsupported video card
manufacturers.
• Crash on startup due to a corrupt XML file in the preferences directory, such as used by
workspaces, dialog boxes, and Pixel Bender. Now, the corrupt file will be appended with

Create professional Web or multimedia graphics from simple images, buttons, and banners to whole interactive Web page, rollovers or illustrations. Real-DRAW Pro happily combine vector, 2D, 3D, and bitmap editing in one drawing package. It seamlessly moves from one form to another, eliminating time-consuming conversion operations and the need for multiple drawing packages. Unlike other graphics packages Real-DRAW Pro offers a fresh new approach for creating graphics. It gives users unlimited creative power with tools you can hardly find in other packages. Real-Draw Pro is a uniquely versatile application with no limit to the quality and style of output. You can create, for example, realistic 3D drawings using familiar 2D vector tools, airbrush illustrations, Web pages, painted art, photo-realistic imagery, 3D scenes, or photo clone.

Vector-like Editing
Flexibility first! Any object you create is editable all the time. You can change shapes, group objects, move them in layers, resize, edit envelopes etc. Any object has its own changeable properties like color, texture, outline, lights, material, transparency, multiple 3D effects, bevels, shadows, motion blur and much more.

Bitmap Editing
Unlike in a normal vector editor you can actually paint directly onto any vector object using airbrushes, 3D or Artistic brushes and special Image Nozzles. You can paint on the canvas and the strokes will become another object to which you can apply effects, just as with vector objects. No other program can do this.

You can apply various bevels and extrude effects to any object or bitmap to create perfect three-dimensional work. You can get even closer to rendered-like image by applying an unlimited number of 3D lights to any object or by changing its material properties. For example, Real-DRAW PRO makes it very easy to create realistic metallic textures - often a big problem in standard vector drawing packages.
